[Chorus] I've come too far From where I started from Listen! This is what she said: Nobody told me that the road Would be easy I don't believe he brought me this far To leave me... [Intro: Tha Realest] Dear god, I just need to see 'cause I'm prayin' everyday Not gon' stop I just need to see I just need to see...! [Verse 1: Tha Realest] I waken to gunshots on my block Let me see what these cops got My mind plots But I really need to detox Been on a crash course Imma give 'em what they asked for f** task force Empty out the cash drawer I'm broke as f**, so I don't give a f** I'm out of breath Any n***a gets touched My eyes are teary, so don't come near me Imma put you on the news Motherf**er ya hear me? Another day I'm gettin' changed, n***a a harder way Put a plan down, motherf**er make a smarter play I'm a n***a like I'm Timbuktu but empty ya pocktets my n***a 'Cause I don't trust you Shame on you, you made me pull my thang on you How dare you, to even think that you can compare to Well, I'm Tha Realest, I'm a mad man, you feel me? Another day I wake up, it's a n***a that's tryna k** me For real, G! [Verse 2: Young Noble] Yeah Everyday I wake up, thank god that I'm here A young old head I'm young with grey hair, I done seen too much too young I'm labeled as a veteran Novacane for the pain My music like medicine The streets is numb It's about where you headed It don't matter where you from Try to make it out the slum Lotta n***as ain't here Some dead, some doin' that bid Now another n***a raisin' ya kid They say life is like a game of ceelo Talkin' to god, dancin' with the devil
One foot in these streets, one foot in the grave We just tryna get paid and see another day Outlaw! [Verse 3: Tha Realest] I just seen Mike Brown get murdered on them Ferguson streets And you wonder why is blacks ain't got love for police Ain't no peace I ask god to help me, believe But all I see is corruption in these f**ed up streets I got a plan but I really need to speak with Obama Listen to me: all my youngstas jumpin' out with they choppers On my momma, I'm tired of hittin' my knees and prayin' 'Cause don't think that nobody hears the sh** that I'm sayin' To do the right sh** 'cause overseas we fightin' with ISIS People beheaded and we're the ones that's payin' the price It's so gruesome, but Jesus tell me where is the truth from Am I dumb, for still for you to come? I'm so numb Rappers out here paintin' their fingernails Wearin' women's clothes, kissin' men for their record sales I'm hearin' yells from my n***as is jail cells I'm 'bout to k** a C.O. 'cause they know they can't post bail n***a! [Outro: Tha Realest] I'm so motherf**in' tired My last friend just became my next enemy Got all this stupid-a** sh** goin' on in the world right now Motherf**ers doin' Drive-By's and still hittin' the wrong motherf**ers Babies gettin' smoked still So I must still do what I'm supposed to do Say f** anybody My mind's f**ed up now The planet's spinnin' the wrong direction in my eyesight I don't trust nobody no more I dont want nobody around I'm like a ticket time [?] It's just another day My n***a Young Noble Tha Realest f** everybody [?] *Not guilty*
